Programmer Passions

So, I actually will post the interesting sci-tech tidbit in a bit (I've been behind in reading papers this week -- the camp was a blast, but it ate up time like no tomorrow), but I thought I'd post a breifish update on why developers hate IE. I think it is best encapsulated in these two photos:

IE 8 rendering http://beta.revealedsingularity.net

Opera on the same

As is evident, Opera and Firefox and Safari will all render it one way, and IE another. To be perfectly fair, the utter mutilation in the image above is IE8; IE7 just does a hack job on places that images are supposed to blend into backgrounds. Unfortunately, this is something I'll have to look up to fix.

I'll try to post the promised science tidbit sometime in the next few days, along with a rundown of Adapt or Die. Till then, by popular demand from the students, here's a link to the Evolution Game (best played with more than four players).
